Bash 496 Posted July 24, 2015 That's a great point. I doubt the video would have been forthcoming if it was the other way round. Why do you think they haven't posted the video of the incident with Carl Wilkinson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fromafar 10,466 Posted July 24, 2015 Is this setting a dangerous precedence,will video evidence be used to determine who cause crashes and issue them with bans when reviewed by BSPA after the event if a Promoter files a complaint.Tungate appears to have been out of order but like other posters comment that has happened before.Auty is no angel on occasions I have seen him ride but that's Speedway and it is a dangerous sport.Im just an imbecile by looks of itWhat have the BSPA got to do with it-see post 587 !!!!Looks like I am an imbecile then!

Young51 156 Posted July 24, 2015 scunthorpe won't get away with their petulant childish antics and Chris Louis when interviewed tonight said there was a lot more to come but couldn't yet say what. I'm still waiting to see what sort of action Sam Masters faces for doing something far worse. Do you actually think before you type?Yet more paranoid ramblings ..you seem to think this is some sort of (pardon the pun) Ippo Witchunt and that it's the evil Monarchs Empire running the BSPA/SCB ITV BBC etc etc..Your rider Mr Tungate was tried got found out and punished but you're trying to turn this around and blame everyone when it's a rider from your team, who through his actions broke another riders arm.Some on here have even inferred that because it was Josh Auty he had it coming to him.. Dearo dear thats sad..one thing i will say Mr Lily Savagewitch is that your posts are at least entertaining in a weird sort of way.. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Albert 304 Posted July 24, 2015 Why do you think they haven't posted the video of the incident with Carl Wilkinson. Is there coverage of that incident? Id love to see the race again... I, like the majority of the crowd was convinced that Nielsen caused wilko to fall, looked pretty clear cut.. Any coverage? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nick 14 Posted July 24, 2015 I agree with others that it sets a dangerous precedent as surely only away teams will suffer from video evidence. On a separate point is there any come back on a referee for poor decision making/loss of control of the meeting, we have had two major incidents this season and the same ref has been in charge of both. If this was football, the ref's performance would be assessed and they would be rested/demoted to a lower league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nick 14 Posted July 24, 2015 It was Coventry v Poole on Sky when the home team walked out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Panda 366 Posted July 24, 2015 It was Coventry v Poole on Sky when the home team walked out. For the record on that one he was not the referee Christina Turnbull was............he was the second official as required at Sky meetings................he refused to do a track walk and when Mick Horton said on camera if you re run heat 9 then you may as well run heat ten that was the undoing of that meeting.............. For once Poole are blameless..................and the meeting should never have gone ahead in the first place........... RP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,714 Posted July 24, 2015 A polite post to all the imbeciles who have posted over the previous pages libellous comments about the BSPA management committee. It`s about time people realise that the referees are employed by the Speedway control bureau(SCB) and it`s this body that deal with disciplinary matters such as this. It`s obviously true that there are members of the BSPA on the board of the SCB but if anyone thinks for instance if there was a hearing about Edinburgh then Alex Harkess would be involved in any decision making process then they are seriously deluded. Although in essence there is little or no difference between the BSPA as a collective, the MC as a subsection of the BSPA and the SCB as the BSPA wolf in sheep's clothing. Whilst technically separate and with different spans of control there is no significant disconnect between all three when it comes to the day to day running of the sport.

Sorry do not agree with most of that-this is taken from the SCB website " Financed entirely by fees generated through the issue of Track Licences, Rider Registrations and Officials Licences the SCB seeks to act as the independent body to ensure that the BSPA, Member’s Tracks, Riders and Officials all act within the Rules and Regulations of the SCB and most importantly within the best interest of Speedway motorcycle racing." This I believe is carried out without interference from the BSPA. Edited July 24, 2015 by racers and royals 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
speedy bill 154 Posted July 24, 2015 Cant believe the little arse Tungate got away with such a short ban, he went from gate one and caused Auty to take avoiding action in the first running of heat 10 then was surprised when he fell after contact was made.It was his fault and he should have been excluded,then to blatantly knock Auty off after the race was disgusting.He should be banned as long as it takes Auty to get back racing he took his living away so should be prevented from making a living himself.

This I believe is carried out without interference from the BSPA. How can it be independent and run without interference when it has multiple common members with the BSPA?? Even with the best will in the world despite the obvious good intentions of the statement you have posted it just isn't possible IMO.

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,714 Posted July 24, 2015 2 which is the minority in the 5 member board-more un-founded accusations Independent does not mean a 40% crossover. And by definition if 40% of the SCB are the BSPA it cannot act without interference. Nothing unfounded in any of that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
